Guild Wars 2

I’ve been away for a while and thinking of returning. I know the precursors were going to be more obtainable sometime, is that in effect or do we have a eta?

Not yet.

Within the next 4 months we will have new legendaries whose precursors will be craft able. Crafting will jump from 400 to 500 and Ascended gear will be released as the final and highest tier of gear in the game-for reals this time! Current legendary weapons will have stat increases to match ascended gear, and players will be able to change the stat distribution on Legendary items to fit their builds.

I believe this is all we know.

Doesn’t that apply to all precursors, not just new ones?

We aren’t quite ready to go into all the details here, but what I can say is you will see a specific way to build precursor items on your way to a legendary. On top of this, you’ll also see new legendary weapons and new types of legendary gear in 2013. Building your precursor will require a large amount of the new crafting material rewards listed above, 500 in crafting, and likely a combination of other items earned for completing more specific content in the game.
